July 23rd! I have my date!



Recommended Posts

After almost a year of twists, turns, and frustrations, I was approved and given a date. I am having surgery on July 23rd and I can't wait!!! To all those slogging through this process and jumping through hoops, keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Any other July 23rd sleevers?

My date is July 22nd. Like yourself it has taken me a year to get to the party but man-o-man I plan to party like a rock start! Where's that surgery table.
:P

I am working from home today and decided to get reconnected with the site and boy am I ever glad I did.

I wish you all the best on your surgery and great success on your journey!

Kw lets keep in touch. What type of pre-op diet are you required to do? Where are you having your surgery? I can't wait to see what life will be like next year at this time.

Congrats! I have surgery on that date too! I was scheduled for June 27th but due to insurance I had to reschedule for later date. Hopefully that was my last hoop! I have been jumping through them for over a year too! All things happen for a reason. Good luck to you both and yay for us!

Smj, we are sleeve sisters. Yeah for the 23rd!! Laura, the psyche eval is a piece of cake. I don't know about others but I haven't found te nutritionist that helpful. Mine just reads me the same sheets each time. I can read....

I'm so happy for us. I'm ready to get this going.

For my pre-op I am required to do two weeks of Slimfast and can have unsweetened applesauce and sugar-free Jello. I'm having my procedure at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.

I can't wait to see the results a year from now. But I plan to record changes month by month. That way mentally I can adjust.

Every year I return to my alma mater for homecoming. I can't wait to go this year! I want to be the bell of the ball lol. I am looking to buy a hot dress! I'll share the pictures.

Hi my name is crystal I'm scheduled for July 22nd. So excited and nervous ! I have 2 weeks of pre op diet 4 Protein Drinks a day and meat and veggies at night . I started my journey in dec 2012, at 318 today I'm 300 trying so hard to get out of 300's before surgery. I am getting my unbiblical hernia fixed at the same time hoping that doesn't make recovery harder. I'm in Illinois about 20 mins outside of Chicago having surgery done at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet

We are sleeve sisters Elaine! Good to see there are a few of us all having surgery around the same time! We will all have to keep in touch and check in to see how we are all doing. I know I am excited but scared to death at the same time. Blessing to us all for an uneventful surgery and smooth recovery!

Kw2, I think it's a great idea to track your weight loss in smaller increments. I want to do frequent photos for at least a year. That's super exciting that you will get to go to your event lolling and feeling good. I avoid all "reunion" activities now and can't wait to feel confident enough to go again. Make sure you do share "hot dress" photos:)

Cmt, my pre-op is similar. I get 2shakes a day and 1meat/veggie meal. That's for 2 weeks prior. I'm having some anxiety about it, but I will do what I have to do. You are a day ahead of me, so you are the guinea pig:). Lol. I'm glad for the support we can be for each other. I don't know about others, but I think my family gets worn out hearing about it:)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
